Introducing a versatile home with a dedicated guest wing which can be used as a Bed and Breakfast option. The guest wing includes a bedroom, bathroom, living area, private courtyard, separate entry, and carport, all connected to the main house through a convenient linkway. 

The main house has two bedrooms, including a master with a walk-in wardrobe and ensuite, alongside an open plan living and kitchen space, with a separate office or media room for added functionality. Outside, enjoy a walled kitchen garden, along with a courtyard featuring a louvre roof, perfect for outdoor relaxation. Spanning 212sqm, the home is clad in Madrid brick with detailing such as screening and a pergola in Abodo vertical shiplap, blending elegance with functionality. 

This home received a Gold Award at the Registered Master Builder 2021 House of the Year Competition, Waikato – a true testament to the project architecture, by Johnson Brierley Architecture, and its construction, by eHaus Waikato.

It's certainly good waking up in the morning and having to check a gauge to see what temperature it is outside. The house stays consistently warm in winter, and the Zehnder ventilation is instrumental in that. At present, 12 degree outside air is filtered and delivered into the house at 22 degrees. Works for me! We really enjoy our eHaus - over five years now and no regrets in making the extra investment.
